Sentro Nos Perseveransia has been helping people with mental health issues since 2013. We support them to participate in society as best as possible, despite their challenges.

What do we do?

We help our clients with:

  • Establishing a daily routine
  • Taking care of themselves
  • Doing household chores
  • Engaging in enjoyable activities
  • Finding work if possible

We listen carefully to what our clients want and can do. Together, we create a plan that suits them.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for friendly people who want to do something fun with our clients twice a month. You’ll be matched with someone who has the same interests as you.

Our clients sometimes feel lonely. As a buddy, you help them to have more contact with others. Together, you can:

  • Have a good conversation
  • Take a walk
  • Do something enjoyable outside our center

What do we ask of you?

  • You’re available about 2 to 4 hours twice a month
  • You can apply for a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG)
  • You enjoy interacting with people with mental health issues, or you want to learn more about this

What do we offer?

  • A chance to really make a difference for someone
  • Training to prepare you well
  • Always someone you can call if you have questions

Are you social, patient, and want to do something good for others? Then contact us at caroll.poulina@mentalhealthcaribbean.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
